SOURCING IN CHINA

China is still the world factory, it has the most extensive product lines. However, identifying the most suitable supplier can be challenging due to internet information overload. The Chinese saying 笃实求真 (seek truth from facts) applies here.

A nuanced approach is best when doing business in China. At InstantChina, we help you to cut through the maze of government regulations, cultural ambiguity, logistics, and other inconvenient issues.

We can make sourcing in China almost as pleasant as a walk in the park. 🙂

Customized Sourcing 1

INSTANTCHINA helps you to cut through all the complexity of sourcing in China.

Whether it is simple sourcing or complicated sourcing, we have done it all!

Simple Sourcing

Say you are looking for a simple material or component, this market is very competitive and we have the network to get a good price. You may just need a customized nail, a new type of screw or a low-cost substitute for a more expensive brand. A case in point: we helped an Indian customer to source a special battery case. The product is from an INSTANTCHINA authenticated factory. The client received a cost-effective product with acceptable quality and in-time delivery.

Specialized Sourcing

Run-of-the-mill sourcing is relatively straight forward. The true test comes when a client requires a service that involves new or rare technology. Our team has an extensive background experience to handle such a request. When our US customer required a special high-tech glass, we quickly sourced from a Suzhou factory who had just invested in such a relevant production line. It was a perfect match.

SOURCING FOR GENERAL ASSEMBLY

This is for a situation when you have a final product in mind. An example is a specially designed cosmetic mirror for medicine cabinets.

Mirrors, frames and steel connectors need to be supplied by different sources. We were able to sort out the good suppliers and chose a good factory to assemble the final products.

Project sourcing

Some projects require new or unproven technologies. In such situations, project managers need inputs from many factories and, at the same time, also have to communicate with engineers, designers, and other professionals. Most factories lack the resources to interface with other parties. INSTANTCHINA can serve as a clearinghouse. We can seamlessly weave a platform to solve this kind of problem.

Frequently asked questions

ONE TYPE means products  can be produced in one factory in one kind of process. For example, Sheet Metal parts can be made in a sheet metal factory, while Die Casting has to be made in different factory who has die casting facilities. If you need both Sheet Metal parts spllier  and Die casting suppliers, they are two types of suppliers.

Factories now days are focusing more on their own industry to make their products competitive. Thus sourcing need to be more specific and selective.

If it’s a new industry that we don’t have existing resources, we do it in a few steps. (Note that every job and customer requirements are different, this is just a very rough idea) .

  1. Extensive information collection from different sources including our local connection. We get about 10 real suppliers of that industry with different size and level.
  2. We’ll do more research to refine the list into 3-5. We might check their credit record from some platforms, make phone calls to ask questions, etc. to make sure they are REAL factories, they can produce the requested products, and they are interested in working on the job (if customer provided a job description).
  3. We’ll write a sourcing report to customer about the findings of these resources, and can even get rough quotation from them for customer to evaluate.
  4. If these resources are not satisfied, we can do some additional research of the industry and communicate with customer whether the product is suitable for making in China. Now days not all products are suitable because of the increasing cost.

We charge the same way as a new sourcing process, USD299 PER TYPE. You can get more timely, reliable information, have better understanding and relationship with suppliers.

A good supplier might not be the key element to your success, but a bad supplier is definitely disastrous for your business.

Online searching is very easy, but the search result means nothing if you have hundreds of suppliers making the same thing. Everyone says they are good. Most search results are from trading companies, not manufacturers. Based on our experience more than 85% of companies show misleading addresses on Alibaba. You need skills to figure out WHICH IS A REAL FACTORY MAKING THE EXACT PRODUCT YOUR ARE SOURCING. As a local company, INSTANTCHINA has the skill set to help you save money and avoid traps.

Alibaba or made-in-china are great platforms for information. But how to use this information wisely is very tricky and needs a lot of experience. You can’t trust that information before you do further research. You can’t place an order only according to the information shown on the platform. It does not mean you get cheated every time but you should not take the chance. It’s too risky.
